The Knowledge Foundation, Inc is accepting proposals for new conferences in the areas of material sciences. Of particular interest are the following fields:

• New materials classes
• Materials discovery, development and optimization technologies
• Informatics
• Computational chemistry specific to the materials sciences
• Innovative materials processing, manufacturing technologies
• Discovery, R&D specific to:
  • Polymers/Plastics: Discovery, R&D, Applications
  • Electronic Materials: Discovery, R&D
  • Catalysis/New Catalyst R&D

The Knowledge Foundation specializes in the production of conferences and newsletters geared toward the commercialization of advanced technologies. Our goal is to provide information on very niche topics which are not often served by existing industry associations or conference organizations. This allows us to explore indepth exciting new technologies and their potential for practical, commercial application.

We ask that proposals for scientific meetings match this criteria, and its aim to appeal to industry, as well as academia and government. This is a unique opportunity to develop a meeting, or explore a specific development, area of research or scientific challenge which may not be available from other sources. Plus, all those who submit a proposal will receive a complete documentation binder from any one of our upcoming or recent (within the past six months) conferences -- a $395.00 value -- FREE!

You may apply as:

• Conference Advisor: Once the proposal has been researched, and level of interest determined, you would work with a Knowledge Foundation program manager to develop an outline, identify and recruit speakers. Conference advisors will be acknowledged on conference literature, conference proceedings, and may chair the opening session of the event if desired.

• Propose a Topic: Simply provide a proposal and rough outline of areas you feel should be covered in a conference. We will research the topic, determine level of interest and continue development.

• Conference Speaker: Provide us with your area of expertise, as well as possible topic areas which you can address. You may apply for a specific event, or we can contact you when organizing an appropriate meeting

Please contact us via email or use our online form to provide us with your name, affiliation, contact information, your proposed topic(s) and which role you would like to play in the meeting.
